Midway Atoll Coastline 2010Jan 14

This dataset contains a screen-digitized coastline for Midway Atoll (Sand, Eastern, and Spit Islands) based on a DigitalGlobe WorldView-2 satellite image taken on January 14, 2010. The digitized coastline was not corrected for tide since no digital elevation model was available at the time the image was collected. Like most of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, this coastline is very dynamic and changes considerably from season to season, year to year, as erosion and depsoition of sand are in constant flux.
